Traffic changes in Panmure

Drivers are being asked to be patient as people get used to new road layouts following the opening of Te Horeta Rd in Panmure on Sunday.

Te Horeta Rd provides a new north-south link between Morrin Rd and Mt Wellington Highway, bypassing Panmure roundabout.

People driving between Mt Wellington Highway and north of Jellicoe Road are advised to use the new road.

Advice for travel in the Mt Wellington and Panmure area
• Please be patient as people get used to the traffic changes and pay attention to road signs
• From Sunday if you’re driving or cycling between Mt Wellington Highway and the Glen Innes, Pt England and St Johns areas, use the new Te Horeta Road
• Drivers and cyclists heading north have the option to go straight ahead onto Morrin Road or turn right on to Jellicoe Road at the end of Te Horeta Road
• Access to Te Horeta Road from Mt Wellington Highway is adjacent to Panmure District School
• For travel between Ellerslie and Panmure or Pakuranga, please keep using the same route
• Cyclists can use the new Te Horeta Road cycle lanes or an off-road shared path. Access to the off-road path from Mt Wellington Highway will be via William Harvey Place while final construction work is completed
• Pedestrians and cyclists can access Panmure Station from Te Horeta Road via the off-road cycle and footpath.
• Pedestrians can use the new William Harvey Place footbridge from Mt Wellington Highway to get across to Ireland Road.

Completing Te Horeta Road is the final major milestone for the first stage of the Auckland Manukau Eastern Transport Initiative (AMETI). It also included building the new Panmure Station, three new bridges and new cycling and walking links.
